Cabinet Office Core Function

The Cabinet Office provides administrative and secretariat support to the Cabinet. CO administers Ministerial leave, overseas travel and acting appointments in consultations with the Hon. Prime Minister. The Office also facilitates parliamentary pension allowances, and requests for the use of the Fiji Flag and the Coat of Arms.

Development Cooperation & Facilitation Office Core Function

The re-structure of the OPM initiated with the transferring of the monitoring role to the Ministry of Finance. This required an assessment of unit roles within the Ministry to ensure that the core deliverables of providing support to the Hon PM remained intact throughout. As part of this assessment the structure was reviewed to meet the demands of units alongside its revision of roles.

Findings revealed that two units within the OPM complimented each other through the roles they performed to the communities. The Public Relations and Media Division (PRMD) was responsible for creating awareness on Government’s intent and objectives whilst the Development Cooperation Facilitation Division played a highly visible role in facilitating project implementation as approved by the Hon PM. As such the two units were merged into a single Division forming the Development Cooperation Facilitation Office (DCFO). The Complaints section was also merged under the PRMD thus allowing the complaints process to be integrated into the PR processes.

The revised role of the DCFO is to create awareness on Government’s intent and objectives through consistent engagement and ensuring high visibility through facilitation of project implementation.

International Cooperation & Corporate Service Division (ICCSD)

The Division provides policy advice, formulate and act on policy issues relating to all International Cooperation matters and Corporate Services to the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) through five (5) key areas: International Cooperation, Accounts Unit, Human Resources and Development Unit, Administration & Productivity Unit, and Information Technology Unit with all statutory obligations.

The International Cooperation unit is responsible for all international relations matters that are aligned to the Prime Minister’s Office. These include MoAs and MoU follow ups, reviewing of missions, fostering PM’s Agenda in the international arena.

The Accounts Unit is responsible for the budget & financial reporting compliance; audit report; procurement compliance report and other financial services within the OPM and the Cabinet Office assignment.
